Amrtabindu Upanishad belongs to a class of five Upanishads jointly referred to as the “Bindu Upanishads”. The word Bindu stands for a dot or a drop. The other Bindu Upanishads are: Naada Bindu, Brahma Bindu, Dhyaana Bindu and Dhejo Bindu. All these are part of the Krishna Yajur Veda. Out of the five, this one called as the Amrta Bindu (meaning a drop of the nectar) is the chief one. _______________________________________ Zoom ID: 997-6077-0173 password: 267822 Please join the session with your video on and full name to let the host be able to identify you and let you in. _______________________________________

CORD read-a-thon
June 10, 2020 - August 16, 2020


As many students and adults transition from the end of the school year during this pandemic, it has become apparent that our access to educational materials and mentally exciting tasks has decreased. This is why Chinmaya Mission Columbus is hosting a read-a-thon program throughout the summer that will encourage others to become active readers while also raising money for an organization called CORD USA _______________________________________ How does the read-a-thon work? 1) register for the read-a-thon 2) read anywhere from 1-24+ hours and log information about the book you read and how many hours you read 3) text/call/talk with family, friends, and neighbors explaining the fundraiser and asking them to donate money 4) ask others if they would like to participate as well (you can direct them to this website) 5) collect all money raised and donate it through the Chinmaya Mission Columbus website _______________________________________

COVID-19 Relief CARE Packages
Every Saturday from 3 PM - 4 PM

5302 Liberty Road North, Powell, OH 43065
COVID-19 pandemic and its devastating impact have taken a terrible toll globally. It is particularly sad that our country of residence has not been spared either; despite its economic might. While all of us feel the impact of the novel coronavirus, the burden falls most heavily on those who have been marginalized in our society. Homeless people, those on the poverty line, individuals without health insurance are all feeling the pinch most of all - as many struggles to get even a single meal for the day. ___________________________________________ With all this suffering around us, we must ask ourselves: How can we step up to help meet their needs? ___________________________________________ Our youth volunteers are making CARE packages and delivering them to the frontline workers every week. You can drop the care package items at Chinmaya Mission on Saturdays from 3 - 4 PM. You can also donate money where one of our volunteers do the purchase on your behalf.
